Commuter Benefits Public Education and Outreach Campaign

NYC’s Commuter Benefits Law took effect on January 1, 2016. DCA enforces the law and coordinates the City’s public education and outreach campaign to help employers and employees know their responsibilities and rights.

Read October 26, 2015 press release: City Gears Up for the Expansion of Pre-Tax Commuter Benefits with Launch of Public Education and Outreach Campaign.

The multi-phased advertising campaign, titled There’s a Better Way to Work (Hay una Mejor Manera de Llegar al Trabajo), plays on humorous and relatable commuting situations. The first phase of the campaign aims to provide employers with information and resources to help them establish a commuter benefits program and to educate both employers and employees about the law and how it will save both of them money. Ads will run on subways and subway stations, buses and bus shelters, Long Island Railroad, MetroNorth, New Jersey Transit, Staten Island Ferry, and telephone kiosks. The campaign will also include outreach at public events and a mailing to more than 350,000 businesses.
